Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JACKSON, HELEN MARIA (18311885) , American poet and novelist, who wrote under the intials of " H. H." (Helen Hunt), was born in Amherst,
Massachusetts
 , on the 18th of October 1831, the daughter of Nathan Welby
Fiske
  (17981847), who was a professor in Amherst College. In October 1852 she married Lieutenant
Edward
 
Bissell
  Hunt (18221863), of the U.S. corps of engineers. In 187o she published a little volume of meditative Verses, which was praised by Emerson in the
preface
  to his
Parnassus
  (1874). In 1875 she married William S. Jackson, a banker, of Colorado Springs. She became a prolific writer of
prose
  and verse, including juvenile tales, books of travel, household hints and novels, of which the best is Ramona (1884), a defence of the Indian character. In 1883, as a
special
 
commissioner
  with Abbot Kinney (b. r85o), she investigated the
condition
  and needs of the Mission Indians in California. A Century of Dishonor (1881) was an arraignment of the treatment of the Indians by the United States. She died on the 12th of August 1885 in San Francisco.
In addition to her publications referred to above, Mercy Phil-brick's Choice (1876), Hefty's Strange History (1877), Zeph (1886), and Sonnets and Lyrics (1886) may be mentioned.
